Books for Chemical Engineering

Chemical Engineering is a very vast field of study. A lot choices of courses are available and with each course there are hundreds of book to choose from. Today we will talk about some books that can be consulted for basic understanding of chemical engineering - 

• Transport Phenomena by Bird, Stewart and Lightfoot - Good book for grasping fundamental knowledge of mass and momentum transfer. 
• Elements of Chemical Reaction Engineering by H. Scott Fogler - A very good book for CRE. You can also consult CRE by Levenspiel. 
• Unit Operations of Chemical Engineering by Mccabe, Smith and Harriot - Covers topic on unit operations. 
• Mass Transfer Operation by Robert Treybal - Although somewhat difficult to follow but has more than enough content about mass transfer operations. 
• Process Heat Transfer by D Q Kern - Covers elementary topics on heat transfer and heat exchangers. 
• Chemical Process Control by George Stephanopoulos - Good book written in lucid style and covers process dynamics and control. 

These are basic books and covers introductory material on chemical engineering. There are many other good books available. You should consult your professor for which book to follow.
